The Kangxi Emperor was the second emperor after the Capital of the Qing Dynasty was Beijing, and due to the early death of the Shunzhi Emperor, the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight; the Kangxi Emperor reigned for a total of sixty-one years, although many people in later generations denigrated the life of the Kangxi Emperor, but in fact, the Kangxi Emperor has done a very good job among many emperors in history, and as far as his merits are concerned, it is no exaggeration to call him "the First Emperor of the Ages", and here we will take a look at which three major achievements are.

Among the three major achievements of the Kangxi Emperor's life, the weakest was Ping San Fan, because the San Fan Rebellion was a civil strife, but this was also the most important; so the first thing the Kangxi Emperor did after defeating the Ao Bai pro-government was to deliberately eliminate the clan and eventually force Wu Sangui to rebel. However, Ping San Fan is still extremely dangerous, after all, Wu Sangui, as a general at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and sitting in Yunnan for many years, has a natural and strong foundation, so in the early days of the San Francisco Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty was quite passive, and once lost half of the country.
In addition, at that time, many people still hoped to restore the Ming Dynasty, and for a while, many people loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the north and south of the great river responded. However, although Wu Sangui was smooth in the early stage, he was not strong in the end, coupled with old age and physical weakness, he had no choice but to arrange fortifications along the river in Hunan and no longer developed north. The Kangxi Emperor seized this rare opportunity to divide other rebel forces, and then concentrated on attacking Wu Sangui and finally quelling the Rebellion of San Francisco.

Since the establishment of Tsarist Russia, it has shown an extreme desire for land, even if it is deserted, even land that is not suitable for human habitation, they are also going to grab it; originally Tsarist Russia was not strong enough, it was not enough, but since Peter the Great's reform, Tsarist Russia's strength has increased rapidly, and the land has also expanded rapidly, compared with the difficulty of expanding to Europe, the sparsely populated Siberia region is much faster, and soon expanded to the vicinity of the Heilongjiang River Valley, which also clashed with the Qing Dynasty.
However, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was very chaotic, unable to take care of the northeast region, and was therefore encroached on a lot of territory by Tsarist Russia; the Kangxi Emperor began to solve the problem of the northeast after quelling the San Fan Rebellion and recovering the southeast islands. The two sides fought several times, and finally a decisive battle broke out in the city of Yaksa, which ended with the victory of the Qing Dynasty, after this great war, it could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the lost land, but the strong enemy Kaldan appeared, and had to sign a peace treaty in a hurry, set the border, and lost a lot of land in vain, which was a pity.

Many people say that the Kangxi Emperor was incompetent and incompetent, and that he would lose a lot of land in vain after winning the war against Tsarist Russia; in fact, the emperors in the early Qing Dynasty were still quite accomplished, especially the Kangxi Emperor, who did not take the Tsarist Russia into his eyes at all, and did not bring the understanding of the late Qing Dynasty to the former Qing Emperor. In fact, at that time, the Kangxi Emperor was also unwilling, but it was unwise for the Dzungar Khanate to attack and start a war on both sides, and the Dzungar Khanate was obviously more threatening.
At that time, the Dzungar Khanate was already a superpower, and Kaldan was a male lord who wanted to annex the Mongolian steppe, and Mongolia at that time was already the territory of the Qing Dynasty, so there must be a war between the two countries. At that time, the Dzungar Khanate also had hundreds of thousands of troops, in addition to cavalry, it also had a lot of arquebusiers and artillery, so the battle was quite difficult, and the situation was critical to the point where the Kangxi Emperor was personally recruited, and finally, through three major wars, the Kaldan soldiers were defeated and killed, and the Dzungar Khanate also became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and then experienced the management of the Yongzheng Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor, so that the Qing Dynasty successfully annexed the Dzungar Khanate.
After the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, the three major achievements, the first was to quell the rebellion of the Three Domains, the second was to defeat foreign enemies, and the third was to open up the territory; if any of the great merits were obtained according to the criteria for judging the king in later generations, it would already be regarded as a Ming Emperor; and during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, he vigorously developed internal affairs, making the country peaceful and peaceful, laying the foundation for the "prosperous era of Kangqian" in the next hundred years. Of course, in the later period of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, due to the fatigue of the government, the official rule began to become corrupt, but fortunately the Yongzheng Emperor was diligent in ruling and used iron blood to save the situation.
